Not sure that will do well as daily driver or be good for gas mileage. Lots of overlap at 12.5 degrees. What other mods do you have? I ran a 228/232 114+2 in my LS2 stock heads and bolt on and it was great. That was a while ago. Search spinmonster for some good cam choices.

That would not be my first choice for a DD. Idle is going to be quite rough.

In my 2005 C6, I had a 228/232 on a 115 LSA cam. I picked up a 50 rwhp with no affect on MPG (as long as I drove like a normal person). Idle was almost like stock and still passed smog here in California.
